<p>Well, I was wondering how many courses you guys take each year. In my HS, the maximum is 7, but some people I know take 8 and I feel that that is a disadvantage, considering that they will earn more credits and gain more knowledge, not to mention an additional chance to raise their GPA.</p>
<p>You take at most 8 per semester, which is average. If you pass off all of your prereqs you can get it down to 4-6 per semester. (We’re on block.)</p>
<p>Some of the 8 per semester classes you take for a full year. So throughout the full year you can only seem to get 8 classes depending on your schedule.</p>
<p>4 per semester max, 3 min. All classes are only 1 semester - but AP classes must start as a different name first semester, then official AP second (or you get dropped to CP credit)</p>
<p>There are 7 periods in the day, excluding lunch, so the vast majority take 6, and the other being study/gym. I personally am taking 6 this year, but 7 next year.</p>
